Some mempool hw like octeontx/fpa block, demands block size (/total_elem_sz) aligned object start address.
Introducing an MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS flag. If this flag is set: - Align object start address(vaddr) to a multiple of total_elt_sz. - Allocate one additional object. Additional object is needed to make sure that requested 'n' object gets correctly populated. Example: - Let's say that we get 'x' size of memory chunk from memzone. - And application has requested 'n' object from mempool. - Ideally, we start using objects at start address 0 to...(x-block_sz) for n obj. - Not necessarily first object address i.e. 0 is aligned to block_sz. - So we derive 'offset' value for block_sz alignment purpose i.e..'off'. - That 'off' makes sure that start address of object is blk_sz aligned. - Calculating 'off' may end up sacrificing first block_sz area of memzone area x. So total number of the object which can fit in the pool area is n-1, Which is incorrect behavior. Therefore we request one additional object (/block_sz area) from memzone when MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS flag is set.
